Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring an effluent-bearing gas. The apparatus has a main chamber to which effluent-bearing gas and vaporized liquid are introduced for removing contaminants from the gas by the vaporized liquid. The main chamber has an exit for removing processed gas and a liquid reservoir for receiving condensed liquid from the main chamber. The liquid reservoir has a liquid removal system and a liquid level control. Liquid may be introduced directly into the main chamber or to the reservoir. In operation of the apparatus, effluent-bearing gas is admitted to the main chamber where it is contacted with vaporized liquid and then discharged. The vaporized liquid is condensed and introduced into the reservoir, from which a portion of the liquid may be removed and analyzed for gaseous borne effluent.
